A moan about modern day

Righty...

First of all, it was my dream to be a pilot, and it still is, but a while ago i accepted it for just that, a dream. This is due to my maths grade not being the minimum required.

So i studied engineering for a while, and am about to do an apprenticeship in Heavy goods vehicle engineering (As my maths grade wont even allow me to do an apprenticeship with aircraft engineering )

So the big question is- What do you all think the likelihood of being accepted into some form of training such as an apprenticeship for aircaft engineering is, even with my poor maths grade, if i complete this HGV course which would give me the equivelant of 3 A levels?

Its just incredibly annoying that no one is willing to give you a chance, just because of my grade, despite the fact i have proven i can do maths at a much higher level than whats written on that piece of paper.
So im hoping this cours eequivilent to 3 A levels may help employers overlook it.


Sorry for the long and moany post guys!

thanks once again,

Lewis
